Great info, I hope it's that easy on my new to me 2003 Chevrolet Tracker. One thing I have to ask though, if I did need to replace my rotors, is it worth the money to buy "sport" rotors (the ones that are drilled and veined) for these vehicles? (OEM equivalent rotors are about 50 a pair, sport ones 75, and I just assume that I need rotors as I feel a pronounced pulsating during braking, and the brakes squeal as well)
This video contains several errors and bad practices, no cleaning, no lubrication, you treat the discs as if you were going to throw them away, it is not changing to change, the brakes are a security issue.
Thank you for teaching me how to change my front brakes on my Suzuki Vitara JLX
Did it. Thanks. Needed to compress the piston some more. Just used an ordinary G clamp and a piece of metal to bridge across the piston.
Thank you for the video, you really explained it well!
I have a suzuki esteam wagon brake are squicking already this video is helpful and look easy fingers crossed. First time doing this
Thank you, these methods also worked on a Sidekick, though the lower bolt is 13mm, and I had to use a C-clamp to compress the caliper piston.
Some pad sets come with new bolts so you may get a variation in bolt size if they have been changed before.

This is the car I have and im so happy to see how easy it is!
you saved me 350 bucks....excellent video
Very helpful video. You make it look so easy. We'll be able to change our Suzuki's brakes ourselves to save some money. Thank you.
Thank you for showing me how it’s done 👍🏻
I noticed the disc moved on that first one. No grub screw?
Thanks for doing this video and help us!
Thanks, it looks really easy and quick, fingers crossed!
I was always taught to change the pads out one by one so the old one would hold the clips up
So I noticed that you didn’t Grease up the slides/ rattle clips, I thought you’re supposed to lube up the slides every brake job you do
Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you, as I have done other vehicles, just not a Vitara. EZ-PZ
Before you do this make sure you undo the cap on top of the brake pot or else you''l run the risk of popping seals
Subbed. Thanks guys. Awesome.
Is it the same or similiar to a 2007?
Nice, that saves bout €100!
Thanks.
love the video . very helpful . ..
Easy job!!
Absolutely not the way to replace pads, no copper slip applied for even lubrication.

Next time try taking the bottom bolt off the caliper that way you don't have it falling down and pinching your fingers
